For the latest Show Me Magic episode, Bill Cummings and Jim Auton are joined by Charlie Beddoes. A supremely talented bass player who laid down grooves for a range of acts from the 80s, through the 90s and 2000s, including her own bands Rub Ultra, Trash Palace and Nasty Little Lonely. She recently released her autobiography Overdriven: the true story of a girl with a dirty bass sound and more ambition than sense. They chat Charlie’s career, new music, navigating the industry as a woman, feminism, the Brits, how streaming and social media has changed music, Wet Leg, The Brits, metal, dream pop, post punk and more.
